  1. Go another level deeper with Matt's Reaction to his own Reaction: https://youtu.be/tD2q2-_5Tyc

  2. Ahead of people asking, these "extra bits" on Numberphile2 start out unlisted so people don't get double-whacked in their subscription feed and maybe get the order wrong, but it will become a normal public video a bit later!
    200
  3. I always leave the extras unlisted for at least a few hours so the main video hits subscribers first... that way I hope people are less likely to click on the supplementary stuff before the main event.

  4. The original video starts on Stand-up Maths: https://youtu.be/Ffa8-S_71xo ... And then transitions to Steve Mould Shorts: https://youtube.com/shorts/267MQF1z2PU ... Before landing HERE... then going back to the original Stand-up Maths
    178
  5. yep
    146
  6. stay calm - I just list this one a bit later so that when people open their subscriptions they are less likely to click on this one BEFORE the main video, etc, which could also be annoying! I'm just trying to annoy the fewest people - but people will always be annoyed!
    135
  7. If you are watching this video while it is still UNLISTED do not panic, it will be changed to listed a bit later.

  8. The podcast also exists in normal places - like podcast players. Please subscribe on there too! More links in description.

  10. Just in anticipation --- these different versions remain unlisted for the first day or two here on the "second channel", then become public later. This is mainly to increase the probability that people who subscribe the main channel and this "extras" channel come across the main video first! However making this unlisted ensures this video can be accessible via links and annotations right from the start.
    92
  11. I'll admit I am pretty excited

  14. It is 33.33 - it is just YouTube videos display different lengths in different places for some reason... I have seen this video displayed as 33.32, 33.33 and 33.34 which seems crazy!

  25. No - just because Monty had two choices when you picked the car (game 1), that does not mean it was more likely and should have its own "scenario/game" line on the screen. You will only pick the car in 1/3 games, it just so happens this case has a (meaningless) mini-choice within it. I explained to someone else thus - it is VERY UNLIKELY an elephant will walk into my yard today. If that does happen, it will be either a male or female elephant. But that does not mean it is TWICE as likely.... It just means if the unlikely event happens, there will be two mini-options within that rare scenario. Likewise, it was unlikely you chose the car, but when you did it unlocked two mini-scenarios - mini-scenarios which we show have no affect on the outcome.
    55
  26. I know a true believer like you would watch, but if you post a 19-minute video to YouTube you may as well hang a big sign on it saying "DON'T WATCH THIS" Better to post a video on the essentials, then a second video for people who want to go deep?
    55
  27. +C Fam sorry, I make it public in the end. I do it for a reason. As far as I know your problem is an annoying fringe case.
    51
  28. The "2" channel if really for people like you - who want every last morsel. Others might find their sub box and bit cluttered if they got everything and all the little extras.

  40. They are well listened to on podcast players - never expected them to have high numbers here on YouTube. Just pop them on here for people who don’t do podcasts.
    27
  41. Please do consider subscribing to our podcast on your podcast player... We put them on YouTube here an extra thing, but it's really made to be a podcast!

  48. Hi, why not subscribe to Numberphile2 (our extras channel which you are now on!!!) We'd appreciate it!
    22
  49. I didn't think this added much for the "casual" Numberphile viewer and made the video another minute longer... However I am aware there are people who want to hear every last detail from people like Ron Graham.... Or just like to see what was cut because of their interest in the editing process. These are among the many purposes of Numberphile2 videos.
    22
  50. Sometimes one just wants to try something different. It’s actually quite a complicated effect, with the notes and sounds mapped onto the numbers. But don’t worry, I’m well and truly braced for the comments. It’s not my first rodeo. ;)
    22
  51. That’d be cool.
    22
  52. See the previous video at: https://youtu.be/33YSWaR3kAQ
    22
  53. after the phone call (with my little nephew on the other side of the world) I pressed stop, but obviously pressed it twice... When I went to re-start, I saw it had been running. So often I've used candid moments and human moments to "embarrass" my film subjects, only fair that I do it to myself occasionally! :)
    20
  54. It will be publicly listed later.
    20
  55. Ongoing I believe - so while the new one is the 52nd found, it might not be the 52nd in sequence... We'll see.
    20
  56. I think perhaps you do not appreciate how many cuts are made in a (good) podcast edit... the video would be crazy unwatchable without a HUGE amount of extra work. Also - a camera adds a very different dynmaic to an interview. I have some experience in this area.
    20
  57. Hello Mr Isacssen
    18
  58. ***** I saw it!
    17
  59. A lot of podcasts (including Numberphile) are heavily edited. Like hundreds and hundreds of minor cuts. It makes them better as an audio experience but would make them unwatchable as videos. Not being recorded with cameras can also be a different experience for the speaker and result in different content.
    17
  60. you haven't made it all the way yet!!! There's a nerd easter egg.
    17
  61. umm, mute?
    16
  62. sequences are often popped on the OEIS if they appear regularly in culture, like in quizzes and tests, etc, and this one comes up often.... I guess it requires that mental leap from seeing a sequence of numbers are realising it is ENTIRELY not mathematical.
    16
  63. I never imagine people actually watch it, just leave a tab open.... But I like to have some easter eggs in there just in case! Sorry you don't like it.
    16
  64. Marc G he's a genius
    14
  65. Thanks. Hope you enjoy it.
    14
  66. indeed they can
    14
  67. I expect most people just open the podcast in a tab and don't even look at the animation - it's just wallpaper?
    14
  68. as many will explain, these extra videos are accessible early via links but usually unlisted for a day or two, and then made public... for whatever reason, upload date refers to when a video is made public?
    13
  69. +D. C we couldn't mike anyone because there were already lots of microphones associated with the even we didn't want to disrupt. To make matters worse, Cliff actually enjoyed making life difficult for the audio guy. It was part of his game and started before the live show. The results were funny for the audience but terrible for the room sound. The filming was really for fun and then we decided to share it. It's on Numberphile2 where anything goes really. :)
    13
  70. Yes. On the way.
    13
  71. Thanks... I actually like them - I find them hypnotic and I like that they give all the videos a thematic link and style no matter what the show specific background... I reckon I went through 1-2 years of people telling me to stop using brown paper in Numberphile videos... Now there are howls of protest if I use anything else... I feel like sticking with them for now and accepting that they are not everyone's cup of tea.
    13
  72. Karlo Schallibaum great - thanks
    12
  73. I don’t think anyone said it was “slow”… the authors just said they were not claiming it was revolutionary. How fast or slowly it converges of course depends on lambda. High values of lambda of course do make it slow (Madhava speeds) But no matter what you set as lambda, it is not in the Chudnovsky ballpark.
    12
  74. Because podcasts sound better (IMO) when they’re properly edited but that chops up the video and makes it unwatchable.
    12
  75. you're welcome
    12
  76. I am sure most of our viewers are reasonably well washed... but a recording of a live event (unless done VERY, VERY well) does not do justice to the whole idea of a live event with an audience and atmosphere and nuance... Just like having an audience of 200 people watching the process of making a video would not really serve a purpose.... I know people say "well I can't be there, so a recording is better than nothing" but I do not agree... Different mediums have different strengths and mixing them can actually diminish them. It spoils it. Unless the event is TRULY amazing or of incredible significance, I'd rather not see something than see something done "half baked". Just my view.
    11
  77. +1ucasvb it looks better hand done! more "ant-like"
    11
  78. The ones that are an upload of our podcast (which are uploaded here on our second, more hardcore channel) are pretty clearly labelled as podcasts!
    11
  79. Because you don't like the nomenclature, or the format, or the format being on YouTube!?

  93. I always find them kind of hypnotic. (I never really imagine people keeping the tab at front of screen to be honest!?)
    8
  94. You’ve had a great life.
    8
  95. No being constrained by video allows the audio to be edited in an optimal way, to make lots of micro-improvements - an advantage of the podcast format... And this is first and foremost part of a podcast series... Will continue making long form interviews with Ed too though - seen these? http://bit.ly/CopelandGoesLong

  96. Sorry, I keep the extras unlisted so they do not appear in feeds before people have seen the main video, then I put the extras video live a day or so later - but this one got missed by accident so I just put it live. - Brady

  122. I hope someone does!

  123. Depending on where and how you view it, the duration will show as 33.32 or 33.33 or 33.34 - I can't control it!!!! It was edited to be 33.33
    3
  124. What about The Unmade Podcast??!
    3
  125. Am I?
    3
  126. Thank you. I hope you liked it. The plan is to be releasing them here on Numberphile2 in a more contemporaneous way going forward, but didn't want to cause too much confusion at the start and make it appear like it was a video series.
    3
  127. Really glad you enjoyed it.
    3
  128. Depends on your browser, etc. The video is 33’33” but can display as 32, 33 and 33
    3
  129. I did - some browsers show it as 32, 33, and 34 - it cant be controlled by me!
    3
  130. Leave it untouched... It's worth more in mint condition. :)

  139. Fair - but I’m opting to use its official registered name. I wouldn’t refer to The Super Bowl as The American Super Bowl. Or even the National Mall. I don’t think my HI points really apply here - but I totally hear you and did ponder it. And I was careful to mention in the description that it was filmed in Washington DC - and a link to the event.
    2
  140. To make sure it is seen AFTER the main video. It goes public later.
    2
  141. Sure you're not.
    2
  142. on the way
    2
  143. I don’t think any of them have “stoked panic”? And this is a podcast on the more niche Numberphile2 channel. And the title makes it pretty clear it’s about coronavirus, so just don’t click it. 🤷‍♂️ New big number video on the main channel will be published tomorrow, and the video immediately before this one on the main channel was about squares and numbers. Hope those ones are to your liking. ✅ Plenty more typical fare is in the works.
    2
  144. indeed - top person!
    2
  145. Australia is FULL of places named after places in Britain that we pronounce differently to how they’d pronounced in Britain - and that’s in the same language! I’ve been learning this for years as an Australian living in England.
    2
  146. The podcast is made primarily as an audio format and put on YouTube as a bonus. As such it is very highly edited. Like hundreds and hundreds of tiny cuts and snippets. That makes video impossible.
    2
  147. Glad you liked it
    2
  148. That's great to hear - and glad you enjoyed it.

  149. I heard (my cousin saw it) but I could not watch it - if anyone can get me a copy of the segment it would be much appreciated!

  150. Considering each zoom took about 1-2 weeks of computer time to calculate, you think it would’ve made sense to re-calculate them all again to “get back out” to the start position? :)

  157. If you're referring to Zvezda (who has been in previous videos) - the reason was that we were filming this video in England and I only occasionally see Zvezda on visits to California... Not many videos would get made if I always waited to film someone who had actually solved the problem or was the subject of a video!
